Jesus Christ Is Risen Today, Alleluia! Easter Blessings to all!
Our most Sacred Days of the Church Year were filled with prayer, reverence and joy. Many thanks to the beautiful-sounding choir of Saint Gabriel’s Parish. There were countless hours of rehearsal time freely given. They are a truly dedicated choir with a passion to sing praise to our Lord. Musically, Holy Week started out simply and built to an exuberant Alleluia. Holy Thursday began with a chime procession by members of the choir. In addition, Parish flautist Teri Tidwell, guest violinist Tammy Theise and guest cellist Marian Deyarmond played on Holy Thursday and Good Friday. On Easter Vigil, Amanda Graham, timpanist, joined the ensemble. On Easter Sunday, Rachel Morr, trumpet, Martha Crawmer, cello, Rob Lawrence, guitar and trombone, joined the ensemble. Many thanks to the choir and the musicians. Thank you to those who donated food and beverages for the reception, set up the food, and cleaned up. Thank you to Rich Graham for transporting the Timpani drums. Thank you to the Chancery for allowing Saint Gabriel Parish to borrow the Timpani. A very special thank you to Gerry Grzegorczyk. Gerry is the person behind the scenes that makes everything happen. Gerry ensured everything was in place, properly set up and working smoothly. Thank you to Father Marc for his endless love for his Parish community. Fr. Marc was actively involved in all the preparations for Holy Week. Thank you, Fr. Marc, for your vocation and for serving the Faithful of the Diocese of Saginaw.
